Lane Way WINS the Grade 2 Eddie D. Stakes at Santa Anita

Lane Way, trained by Richard Mandella with Mike Smith up, ran with the heart of a champion in the Grade 2 Eddie D. Stakes at Santa Anita today!

He put in a valiant run and it was a huge thrill for us as we watched the race unfold on FanDuel to give him another win--and his first graded stakes win! We couldn't be more proud.

With this win, Lane Way has a good shot at a nomination to the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint this year.

He also made 2023 his best year ever in terms of earnings, and carries an average for 2023 of $61,000 per start. He ran a 108 Equibase speed figure (his second fastest ever), and moved himself onto the list of Into Mischief's Top Progeny for 2023!
